They came today! The eucalyptus is actually rather fun, it has strong roots and a lovely barky trunk. It will be a very unusual bonsai, with those round leaves and all, but it has a beautiful color and the contrast of the silvery green leaves with the reddish bark is very pleasant.

The big quince is REALLY big. It was obviously an air layer, all the roots are coming from the same place and span almost the entire trunk. It has great possibilities, and it's going to be such a treat to see the flowers in the spring!

Thank you, Bob, for all of your work and for giving us this opportunity to purchase these trees!!

For those others who are reading along, there are pleanty more heymikey trees hoping for a new home - won't you please bid on them so they won't be lonely anymore?

I received my hey mikey Yatsubasa elm and C.juniper today as well. They arrived in great shape and are now resting in 5 gal nursery pots. The junipers roots barely fit. They both have very healthy roots and the auction pics IMO did not do them justice. I'll post some photos tomorrow if anyone is interested, it was after dark by the time I got them potted. There are plenty of new buds and bursts of growth on both of them that I didn't notice in the auction pics. Bob, Thank you. It is obvious to me that you have taken very good care of these trees. If you are a beginner or still learning I would highly recommend looking at hey mikeys trees. I wish I didn't have so many trees because that box looks interesting.

My Heymikey mystery tree arived today!!!!
It sure looks like a hineysuckle to me, maybe the cape honeysuckle as answered in the auction.

I cant believe that all of you let this one get away!!!
The pictures dont do it justice.
Cbobgo, very well packaged, thanks.

This ia a monster, much better than I thought it would be.

I sure am glad I had a large pot to put it into!
look at those roots!!
